kermit in ubuntu

danjmw

as many who have posted for help I'm new to Ubuntun, and I'm loving it. However, I am finding little things missing, little things I've come to depend on when running Fedora Core. at the moment, I'm finding myself scrabbling for a replacement of kermit. What I need is a terminal emulator that will allow me to establish serial connections to other devices, specifically Cisco routers, switches, firewalls. anyone have any suggestions? if kermit's available for Ubuntu/Debian I'd be more then glad to return to it.

ckermit (multiverse) and gkermit (universe) are both in the repositories.

Edit: If you don't know how, here's how to add those repositories: http://ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories
